The end of old religions

"Humanity is taking a forward step from the cradle stories of the former generation and their
creations are no longer of any avail to the arisen individuality and spiritual discernment of the consciousness
of the generation that is fast approaching. Delusions, traditions, and superstitions are nearing the end.

It is also true of the civilization which they established. The old idols are good enough for the
infantile consciousness that is nearing an impasse. Their delusion has caused their undoing as they are
proved to be only cradle stories woven by a mastercraft of priesthood and preceptor to lull into false
sleep the crying infants of an evolving race. Those who saw further afield did not cry and thus were not
lulled to sleep.

Most of them saw that the cradle stories were not true and many stepped boldly forth
to erase the untruth; as they saw directly through to the Absolute, that which has always existed and
which has always been seen and known and contacted directly by a portion of mankind. From this
portion there will arise a new and more vitalizing consciousness, fully awake and ready to erase the
idols that man has set up for his fellow man to follow and make room for the new ideals which are as old as
creation’s dawn.

"These will demand of those who teach, lead, or inspire the race-consciousness, that they shall do it
from a plane of actual living contact, so high that there can be no mistake or contradiction and on a
plane of interpretation that is so simple that it cannot be misunderstood. The awakening tiger of
higher intelligence and spirituality will refuse to sleep again, as it is already ravaged with the fragments
of the past and disappointed with the torture of misplaced confidence. It will demand a stronger
and more vital thought with instruction based upon Truth itself.

"The multitudes are now listening, over the heads of past centuries with their creed-bound traditions,
to the old, old message that to the newly-born is working its unfoldment into the hearts and lives of
mankind. This new-old message is the clarion call that is heard above the changing voices of creed-
bound priesthood. It is louder than the voice of battle; it is louder and clearer than the muffled
contradictions of financial, industrial, political and religious lies.

"In spite of the creed-bound thoughts of a portion of humanity, their traditional and idolized ideas of
God, of Christ and man, of self, of life and death, all must go; and in the absolute freedom from these
preconceived ideas there must pass and thus be erased all that was built upon them.

"There is looming upon the horizon of this new approach a redemption that has an entirely new
meaning. This new multitude, coming out of this clearer vision and more definite perception, is
redeemed through deeper revelation emanating out of all races and all people. That emanation
is the One Life that is in all and through all.

"In spite of the delusion-bound multitude, their clinging hands and cringing attitude, a greater and
more noble vista of the expanding horizon of God, the Christ of man, the Christ of God, of Self, and
death itself, is looming; and another cycle of spirit is dawning for the whole world.
Another age of the Crystal Race is coming up out of the maelstrom.

The Dawn of the new religion

"There are so many declaring that they are the sons of God and that they have all that the
Father has. They do have all the Father has, but this statement has not been made a fact until they have
the courage to take the next step and see themselves as God one with all that God is; then they do accomplish.

When the one in mortal limited thought sees the Christ stand forth, that finer individuality
does radiate light. That one that is projecting the Christ does see with a finer, clearer, and more extended vision.
That one sees the higher body of himself vibrating at a higher rate than does his limited body that he also sees.

"He thinks that these are two bodies. He also thinks that that body is the Christ of another.
These which appear two are only an appearance, because he does not believe that he is the Christ.
Let this one declare himseif the Christ and actually accept it as a fact; that instant, these two merge and that
one has brought forth the Christ. Then the Christ stands forth triumphant.

Now let him go one step further and declare that the Christ of God stands forth and that instant he is
the Christ of God. Now the Son of God is one with God the Father and he does go directly to the Father.
That one must go one more step. This is the greatest and takes the greatest determination,
as every fear of mortal thought and limitation must be erased: he must step forth, go forth direct to
God the source, or the Father, and declare definitely and know positively without fear of precedent or
superstition, or man-made belief, that he is God;

that he is merged wholly or amalgamated with God;
that he is this Love, Wisdom, Understanding; that he is substance; that he is every attribute of
God the Father, the source, the Principle. He must accept this in all humility - such as-one does show
forth God. Through such an one, every one of the God attributes does flow out to the whole world. To
that one, nothing is impossible. It is only through such a one that God can express. When you
amalgamate yourself with God, nothing is impossible to you.

You not only have all the Father has but you are all that the Father is. You are the trinity. You are
man-Christ, Christ of God, GOD, all three in ONE. The Holy Spirit abides with you. The Whole-I-Spirit
in creative action abides with you. When you accept this, then you, as weil as all others, will sing ALL
HAlL the power of the Christ name, not the name of Jesus the personal but the Christ. Let angels
prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem and crown Christ Lord of all. You do not crown the personal
Jesus, you crown Christ; and Christ deserves the most magnificent of all royal diadems in the Christly
crown.

There are no diadems too great or divine for the crown of the triumphant Christ.
You see that whosoever will, may come. Come forth and become the triumphant Christ.
Whosoever will, let them come.

"When you say, ‘God,’ see yourself as God. See God standing forth as you stand forth. God cannot
be a bigot or a boaster or an egotist. Neither can the Christ, the God-man, the image and likeness of God,
be any of these things. You can be just God and so is God-man. ‘I AM is in the Father and the Father is in
me,’ are true words. I AM and my Father are ONE in all meekness and Almighty Greatness. God and all
mankind united are Almighty - the Almightiness of God.

"That which was bom in your so-cailed iniquitous thought is raised in glory because the thought of
iniquity is erased. That which has borne the image of the earthly must and does bear the divine image
when you raise up that ideal image.

"I say to you that now, this instant, is the great opportunity for you to step forth, out of this outer
turmoil, into the great peace and blessings of God, and clothe yourself with the light of God. In all
meekness, place the crown of Christ upon your head and, unless you yourself do this,
no other can place it there for you.

"Step up to and be a part of the great white throne, the source. Become one with those that have
made the great accomplishment in like manner; be not only one with God but be God, actually GOD.
Then you can and do present the divine attributes to the whole world. How, can God-energy get into
expression except through man?

There is not another organism upon the whole earth that can vibrate at the same rate or frequency;
and in consequence, it is so highly organized that it does perceive, then generate and transform this
supreme energy, which enables man to express God to the whole world: How can this be done except
through the highly organized and perfected body which are when you are in full control of that body?

"That control means full and complete Mastership, Messiahship, Discipleship.
You are only in control of and in perfect harmony with this body when you stand forth in perfect dominion
and mastery in all the attributes of the Holy Trinity.

"The I AM man, the Christ, the Christ of God; then combining these three with the highest, God,
- you are GOD.

"This is you, the man of today (all humanity) extending your vision and perceiving the truth about
yourselves, that there is a higher and better life for you than the round of mundane experiences. This
you perceive as you follow the right-used (righteous) path, in harmony and true accord, with the highest
ideals you can present, or look forward to or set forth in love, reverence, and worship.

"The first step, you, man, become the Christ man, the only begotten son of God. The next step, you
become the Christ of God by seeing the Christ-man, the Christ of God. You have joined the Christ-man
to the Christ of God; then, in order to go direct to the source, you must take these One, God the Father.

You have now brought together the I AM man into the Christ-man; then you have transformed this
Christ-man into the Christ of God, or the Lord God. Then, through your next step, you have transformed
the Christ of God into the ever-living God. These which seemed two have become ONE God. God, the
Father of all. There is not one thing that will be impossible to you if you do not deviate from this path
of right-use-ness. In this you must be absolutely fearless and true, regardless of what the whole world
may think. In standing forth and acknowledging your dominion and at-one-ment, you are at one with
the Father, the outpouring and ever-present Supreme Principle of all things.

"With this light does not your Bible present a great allegorical depiction of man’s spiritual development
and attainment when rightly understood or righteously used?

"The shaft of light that is pictured as coming to me from heaven, is projected outwardly from my
body. It is true that this light is from heaven, as heaven is all about us and is light vibration. The
actual focal center or starting point of heaven must be right within my body. Therefore, this heavenly
light must come forth from me.

The I AM of me must allow this light essence to come in; then I must generate and transform this light
energy so that it can be sent out with any density that God, the I AM, desires. When this is done,
nothing can resist the power of this pure light. These are the beams or rays of light that you see
emanating from my body when the artist portrayed me at Gethsemane. The beams of light went out
from my body instead of coming out of heaven to me.

"Just so can you transform God-power and send it out with such force that it is irresistible. It is the
God-power, which is recognized all about you, allowed to come in, be generated and transformed
within your body, then sent out through the reflector.

"These things are readily accomplished by all when they stand forth as God, their divine heritage,
the Christ of God, all One. This is the divine and definite motto for all humanity.

"The closer humanity draws to this great healing ray, the earlier will discord and inharmony be
erased.

"If you live freely in this light vibration which is the light of the whole world, and all draw near to it,
the doser you will draw to man’s true abiding-place. Thus you find that I AM is the light of the whole
world. Behold God, the table is spread. Lift up this mighty one of God, this I AM. Lift this body to God
and you and all are crowned Lord of All.
